Remember this insane video from two weeks ago? The one that got Noem dubbed the "ICE Barbie" and launched discourse about her Rolex?

it's important to be vigilant about fakery even when that fakery reenforces your suspicions and values (especially then, in fact, bc posts like this can cast doubt on the many many legitimate complaints regarding gig/delivery services)

deepfaking stuff that didn't happen has long been the concern but the bigger issue has always been fakery that's on the margins — not creating stuff out of thin air, but generating fakery around stuff that really happened in a way where it's not clear which thing is real and which thing is fake
